I thought this was going to be ridiculous but it's actually a really good. It's clear enough that you could extend it down to showing how logic gates work.
The only thing missing is a little endian discussion; it assumes big endian (network byte order), and that may be confusing for all those x86 users out there.
- riceart 4y ago> that may be confusing for all those x86 users out there. It’s pretty much every user these days - even most MIPS based network oriented devices run LE. BE lost many years ago.
- mannyv 4y agoThe Network is big-endian (network byte order).
- edflsafoiewq 4y agoThat's just a data serialization format, there are zillions of those. The important thing is the endianness of the CPU.
- riceart 4y agoYou are the one that brought up CPU architectures. Except for the now aging S390/z that will probably last in a few installations forever and the 5 people that pay to run POWER workstations the world is little endian.
- nwallin 4y agoEndianness isn't relevant to any of the stuff discussed in the article. It is equally applicable to both big endian and little endian architectures.
